It’s Draw Time Again

For this draw we have 16 balls (all different colours) of Rowan Felted Tweed. 

I chose colours that would make an amazing Temperature Blanket. If you do the full size blanket you will need more yarn but you can cut down the stitches to make a throw. You still might need a few more balls depending on the temperature.

Here is a finished blanket to inspire you. The colours are very different but it will give you an idea of what a finished Temperature Blanket looks like. For this blanket Denise used 4mm needles and cast on 252 stitches. You can easily go down to 200 for a smaller throw. Maybe even 180.

This is Andrea Mowry’s Stripes! You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry. Many people have posted finished projects using Rowan Felted Tweed. You will be using the yarn single strand. There is more than enough yarn for the sweater. Depending on your size you might get two.

This is the Vibrant Stripe scarf from Kaffe Fassett (pattern purchased on Ravelry). You have more than enough yarn to make this.
I love this Kaffe Fassett scarf. Pattern purchased on Ravelry.
The pattern for the striped cushions can be purchased on Ravelry.

Check out Marie Wallin’s Ravelry page for more Felted Tweed suggestions. She has hats, scarves and cowls that use more than one colour.

What would I make with the Rowan Felted Tweed? That is a very difficult question because Rowan Felted Tweed is one of my favourite yarns, and it is so versatile, you can make many things with it.
The first thing that comes to mind is “Beatie” by Mary Henderson, which is in Issue 194 of The Knitter. It would be a lot of fun choosing different colours to work the motifs. I have seen a couple of scarves by Marie Wallin that would be fun to do. Another option would be that afghan that has all the little houses. Can’t remember the name but it wouldn’t be hard to find. Georgia Farrell has done a few geometric designs in felted tweed that could be adapted to more colours. I’ve been looking at Ethel by Lisa Richardson. But maybe I would have a go at Bessie by Lisa Richardson. Both of those patterns are designed for Felted Tweed.

I looked long and hard at the Kaffe pillows, especially the pin wheels. If I were to win the bundle though, I would do a temperature throw. I’ve wanted to do one for a while and having a predetermined palette makes the project feel more manageable.

Hi Julie.
A draw for felted tweed! Fun just to think about winning.
I think I would make the Kaffe Fasset Cool Weave wrap. Great final look, because of felted tweed’s gorgeous colour palate, but as easy as a log cabin throw.

I would make the Chevron patterned scarf from Vogue Knitting Scarves. It lends itself to 2 colour or multi- colour stripes. You can also adjust the width to accommodate the available yarn quantity. Other ideas include Beth’s tubular scarf in a heavier weight of yarn and many multiple coloured toques, mitts and neck warmers for charity.

Hi, I'm Betsy C; @Pipsissewa on IG and bcaruso on Ravelry. This selection of colors is exactly what I tend to choose when planning something wonderful. I've not used Rowan felted tweed, but I think I'd adapt The K Fassett circles to make a throw to replace my rather tatty current one. The hues would pop with the colors in our home.

Thanks for offering this collection, Andrea!
